Sirens are aquatic predators who usually opt for gullible humanoid creatures as prey. There are many common misconceptions and misinterpretations of the sirens being beautiful creatures, having the top half of a human and the lower half of a fish, like a mermaid. Though it is not far from the truth, as sirens use their majestic, some would say hypnotising voices to create illusions to appear as such and draw in unfortunate sailors. Most peak at 2m long from top of the head to the tip of the fin, while some subspecies get as long as 10m. They have an almost glasslike face with sharp teeth on the upper part of their jaws. They have long webbed appendages and a long tail. Sirens are normally found around the, fittingly named, Siren Islands, and around the rest of Eden’s Expanse. They may come in many colours that vary depending on the temperature of the water. Colder water sirens tend to have a darker blue tint to their scales while warmer water sirens are usually much lighter hues, a few scattered reports stating sightings of white sirens with the tip of the fins and arms a light blue, almost blending in with the water.

Behaviour

Sirens are known for their hostility towards the humanoids, generally luring them in with their hypnotising voices. They usually steer clear of the larger coasts, opting for smaller islands instead. With humanoid land creatures being their main food source, sirens sometimes make friends with larger predators such as the kraken, helping lure its next victims so they could feed off the remains. If not assisted by the others, the sirens would usually surround the ships they wish to target, as they usually swim in schools, and start singing, all in one voice in unison, hypnotising whoever is onboard to bring them over and into the water for them to feed on. Sirens don’t fight over food, rather, they share it to make sure everyone is fed.

Abilities

The Siren possesses a repertoire of alluring yet dangerous abilities. Its Hypnotic Echo emits a captivating screech that induces paralytic shock in the target, rendering them immobile for a variable duration. Victims can attempt to break free through an intelligence check. The Siren's Water Bind ensnares its prey underwater, inflicting gradual damage over several rounds. Escaping this watery grasp requires a successful defense roll. Finally, the Siren's Bite attack immobilizes and wounds its victims, demanding nimble evasion to avoid harm.

Drops

• Siren Scales

Depending on the type of siren killed (cold or hot water) the scales could be used as extra plating for armour or as a stylish addon to the clothes. Warm water sirens tend to have softer, more flexible scales, while the ones living in colder climates have harder and thicker scales.
